LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) His Honour was the only sitting Commissioner, and he was occupied principally in hearing small debt summonses of no interest. IN RE CRACKNELL. His Honour then proceeded to hear arguments in a special case as to who was entitled to certain moneys in the hands of Mr Edwards, the official assignee. The facts were that on the 6th of November an execution was levied by the Sheriff on behalf of a person named Patterson, but the officer retired by arrangement with Crack nell, who entered into an undertaking to allow the bankrupt to re-enter whenever he chose. The Sheriff retook possession on the 12th November, and Crack nell then petitioned this court, and on the 14th the messen ger took possession, and the Sheriff went out again. The property was sold under the bankruptcy, and the proceeds handed over to the official assignee, but on the Bth Decem ber the petition was dismissed. The bankrupt then made an assignment for the benefit of the creditors, and the ques tion now was who was entitled to the proceeds of the sale. The case was just called on and proceeding. DIVIDENDS.-IN RE JANITRIN GRASSE AND DE LISLE. This was a dividend under an old bankruptcy of these bankrupts, who had carried on bueiness as merchants in Austin-friars. This was a meeting for declaring a divi dend on the separate estate of Janurin. There is a sum of £3,217 on hand available for a dividend, the amount of which was not stated, but will be advertised in a few days. IN RE WOODBRIDGE. This bankrupt was a farmer, of Kirby-le , Soken, Essex, and this was a dividend meeting. Tho accounts, by Messrs. Han Brothers and Hayles, shows, debtor to creditor unsecured, £4,937 ; secured, £15,411 ; property given up, £2,315; ditto, held by credi tors £14,500. There is a sutn of £Bl7 available for a dividend. Central Criminal Court--This Days OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder,) Henry Powell and William Finch were indicted for steal ing X 9 15, the monies of John Mantle Chambers, by induc ing him to play end " bet in games of skittles." The Recorder said the facts would not maintain the indictment for larceny, and directed an acquittal. The prisoners were then indicted for the misdemeanour in obtaining the monies by cheating with intent to defraud. Mr. Orridge, having opened the case, called the prose cutor, who detailed the manner in which he had been induced to play and bet with the prisoners, who told him the usual plausible stories. In his cross-examina tion by Mr. Ribton, he said he had been paid back £lO, but the present prosecution was instituted by the Crown. He could not now particularise the bets and the games, but it was at skittles. Powell bet that he could knock the balls down in a certain number of times, and pro secutor bet he could not, and at the time he certainly affected to win. He was told by the police constable to employ a person named Allen as solicitor to prosecutor, and that the prosecutions would not cost him anything. George Ed wards, City police constable 343, was the constable who told him to do so. Mr. Ribton said he was afraid that the system was too common, and the bar had to complain of it, and endeavoured to put a stop to it as much as they could. . . . The Recorder said the officers of the Court were taking measures to stop it. George Edwards, police constable 343, proved taking the prisoners into custody and search them, but nothing ma terial was found. Mrs. Meekham, the wife of the landlord of the public house, 253, Strand, identified the two prisoners as being in the house when the prosecutor was there some time in February. Mr Ribton objected, there was not evidence even suffi cient to maintain the indictment for a misdemeanour. The prosecutor was playing and betting, and for anything they knew it was being done fairly. The Recorder said he did not think there was a case to go to the jury. No doubt there was a trick being played,to get the prosecutor's money. The prisoners were then acquitted. The Recorder cautioned Powell, as he had been there before. The Recorder admonished the police constable Edwards for introducing any person as an attorney, and refused costs except to witnesses, and said he should do so in all cases of the kind. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, WESTMINSTER. A VERY AGREEABLE SURPRIsE.—EIIen Lay, a very respectable looking young woman, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a silk umbrella and pair of stockings. Mr William Brason, surgeon dentist, 2, Winchester street, Pimlico, eaid that the prisoner was sent to him as a servant from a registry office on Saturday last. She was engaged to go out of town with prosecutor's wife, and was to come in day by day until Wednesday,next,when she was fully to enter into the situation. Prisoner came to the house on Sunday and left at 10 o'clock at night, and on the following morning an umbrella and a pair of stockings were missed. They were taken from a box in a bedroom belong ing to a lady who is staying in prosecutor's house. Mr Arnold inquired whether the box had been left open. Witness—No, it had not. It was locked, and prisoner opened it with one of her own keys which fitted it. Mr Arnold—Where is tho lady ? Witness—She is not here ; she has gone a little way into the country. Mr Arnold—When can she attend ? Witness—She is a person of wry nervous temperament and cannot attend. _ _ Mr Arnold—Of course, you can only state the particulars of the ease from what you have heard, but it is necessary it should be proved by personal knowledge. If the prisoner is remanded, the lady must attend, or it will be useless to remand the accused. _ Witness—The girl admitted that she had stolen the things. I knew that the umbrella was taken out of the box on Sunday morning by the lady as it was considered it would he used that day. Mr Arnold—ln order to support this complaint it is necessary that the lady should attend ; if she cannot, it is useless to remand the prisoner. 'Witness—l know she cannot. Mr Arnold—Then the prisoner is discharged, THAMES. THE POPE AND GARIBALDI I—SERIOUS APPAIR.--A coffeehouse-keeper, named William Simmons, of Carr• street, Limehouse, was brought before Mi. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding a man named John Coghlan. The affair which gave rise to the present investigation occurred on the night of Saturday, the 4th of last month, when the enthusiasm in favour of Garibaldi was very great. The evidence previously given went to show that the pri soner, his brother and mother, were opposed to the popular feeling in favour of the great Italian general, and made a disturbance in the prisoner's house and threatened him. The prisoner, becoming frightened, threw a chopper at John Coghlan, which struck him on his knee and wounded him severely. He was taken to the London Hospital. The officer who had charge of the case announced that Coghlan's leg was amputated yesterday in the London Hospital, and that he was in a precarious condition. Thomas Coghlan, 4, Escott-cottages, Robert-street, Mill wall, gave the following account of the unfortunate trans action. On Saturday evening, April 5, I and my brother John went to visit a friend in Vincent-street, Limehouse, We stopped there until 12 o'clock at night, and then went into a coffeeshop in Carr-street. Two men were talking about Garibaldi and the Popo. One of the men said " the Pope ; who cares about the Pope ?" His brother said, "You ought to be ashamed of yourself; the man has never done you any harm." The prisoner, who is the proprietor of the coffeeshop, shoved his brother out of the shop. His brother said ho would go out of the house without being shoved out. The prisoner said if you don't go out I shall have you locked up, and showed his brother to the door. The prisoner also said, "If you don't go out I shall do you an injury," and shoved his brother on to the pavement; His brother opened the door a little bit, and the prisoner threw a chopper at him, It wounded his brother on the knee, and he was taken to the hospital. Mr. Paget said on this evidence he should remand the prisoner until Tuesday next. Mr. Ring, a solicitor, tendered bail for the prisoner, who, he said, received very great provocation before he threw the chopper. Charles Lebbell, a police constable, No. 398 K, said the wounded man was not expected to live, and that this case would probably resolve itself into one of manslaughter. Mr. Ring—The prisoner has this day surrendered on bail. Mr. Paget—l cannot take bail now. THE 'WILD SPORTS OF THE EAST,—Julia Nicholls was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding Margaret Collins, who is in the London Hos pital. Samuel Damerell, police constable, 140 H, said the pri soner and the injured female belonged to that dangerous class called basket girls, who, under pretence of selling oranges and other fruit, robbed sailors and others. Last night he saw the two women quarrelling near the Sailor's Home in West-street. They struggled. He was about to separate them, when the woman Collins gave a shriek, and rushed away from the other. Her mouth was covered with blood, and her under lip was off. Mr. Paget—Bitten off, do you mean to say ? Damerell—Yes, sir ; bitten off by the prisoner. The lip fell off on the ground. It was taken to the London Hos pital. I have been there, and the surgeon will not allow the patient to be disturbed. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner until Wednesday, the 18th inst. THE NEW BILL ON " SENTENCE OF DEATH."— This (Tuesday) evening Lord Ellenborough's bill on " San tenee of 11:0ath" stands for the second reading in the Reuse of Lords, Railway and Public Companies in Pull* went. Yesterday the second committee on metropolitan railways to which has been assigned for consideration four of the new schemes from the, original committee, met in room No. 4. The committee consists of Mr. Hassard (chairman), Colonel Knox, Mr. Knightley, Mr. A. Smith, and Lord Dunkellin. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., laid before the committee the merits of the Metropolitan Railway Company's proposed extensions to Notting-hill and Brunton. The first exten sion will be of 1 mile 7i chains from the authorized western termination of their railway, near the Great Western Hotel, Paddington, passing near the south side of Moscow-road, Bayswater, under the Uxbridge.road at the eastern end of Notting hill, High-street, to a point at Kensington-place, Notting-hill, near and to the south-west of ths junction of High. street and Silver-street; also a further extension of 1 mile 43 chains from that point, passing near and by the west side of Caurch-lane, under High-street, Kensington, near the north-west angle of Kensington-square, and the junction of Gloucester-road and Cromwell-road, tea point at Alfred-place West, Thurloe-square, near the SouthKensie g ton Museum. The proposed lines are to be completed in five years, and the company also undertake to construct a road out of the Cromwell-road, opposite Exhibition-road, to Alfred place West. For these purposes it is proposed to raise £1,200,000 by now shares, which may be issued as a separate capital charged on the profits of these extensions, and £400,000 by loan. Mr. Fowler, having described the engineering fea tures, Sir R. Mayne, Chief Commissioner of Police, and Messrs. Alexander and Holden, owners of property on the route of the line, were examined by Mr. Cripps at consider able length, and the committee adjourned. Lord Stanley's committee passed the bill of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, for their new lines at Battersea, southern works, and Kent works, and adjourned the considera tion of the clauses to Wednesday. The case for the North Devon and Somerset Railway was opened by Mr. Rodwell, Q.C. The character of the coal traffic in connexion with the Great Eastern Northern Junctions Railway en gaged the attention of that committee all day. The com peting case of the Lancashire Union Railway to that of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company's extensions in the same district, was opened during the day. Itis proposed by it to make a railway of 11 miles from the St. Helen's Rail way to Wigan, and of 16 miles from the North Union Rail way between Wigan and Standish to Blackburn, with seven smaller branches; £300,000 to be raised in shares, and £166,000 on loan; the London and North Western to be authorised to subscribe £lOO,OOO, and to raise that sum by new, ordinary, or preference shares ; the new company to be authorised to contract with the London and North Western for the use, working, and traffic of the intended lines. Witnesses were examined by Mr. Denison and Mr. Calvert, The clauses for the amalgamation of the various Welsh railways were settled ; and continuous proceedings occupied the committees on the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Dublin Grand Junction Railways. In Lord Redesdale's committee the Erith Tramway a Bill was passed. It autho rises Lieut.. Colonel Wheatley to construct tramways from the ballast pits or cliffs at Erith to the wharves on the river and to the North Kent line. The bills for the Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway, and Chichester Harbour Embankment, were also passed. METROPOLITAN SUBWAYS..—The witnesses examined in the committee yesterday in favour of the bill were Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Marrable. the architect, and Mr. Carpmael, one of the members of the Metropolitan Board of 'Works. UTILIZATION OF THE LONDON SEWAO 2 .--Yes terday the committee appointed to consider the best means for utiliz ing the London sewage met for the first time, Lord R, Mon tagu in the chair. Mr. J. Thwaites, the chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, was the principal witness examined in favour of the plan propounded by Messrs. Napier and hope, reported on in favour by the Main Drain age committee. HOLBORN VALLEY IMPROVEMENT.—This bill came before Lord Stradbroke's committee, and Messrs. Haywood, Shaw, and Pownall were examined. The opposition for the gas companies, and Messrs. Meeking, Pont'.lex, Wood, and others, was subsequently opened by Mr. Iderewether and other learned counsel, and the committee adjourned. University College, London, The presentation of prizes to the students of the Faculty of Medicine who stood the best in the class examinations at the close of the Winter Term took place yesterday in the Botanical Theatre of the College. Lord Wodehouse presided. There were also present :—Mr. Grote, Sir Francis Goldsmid, Mg., Mr. Fowler, Mr. Frederick Wood, &c. Lord Belper, theVice-President, was unavoidably absent. being engaged as chairman at a meeting elsewhere, Professor. Sharpey, M.D., Dean of the Faculty, read his report. He announced that the number of en tries to classes exceeded that of the former session, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the stu dents. He drew attention to a new system of in struction in clinical medicine introduced at the hos pital byProfessor Reynolds, and said it was the con stant care of the council, in concert with the Faculty of Medicine, to make provision from time to time for such improvements in the methods of tuition as appeared to be called for by the progress of medical science. The following were the principal prizes distributed :—Anatomy and Physiology (Professor Sharpey, M.D., F.R.S., Dean).—Gold medal and first certificate, J. Pearson Irvine, 8.A., of Galgate, Lancaster; first silver medal and second certificate, James S.

Wiaitevell, of Kendal; third prize (Todd's Clinical Lectures), Bryan Holme Allen. Lord Wodehouse, after the distribution of prizes had been made, expressed his high sense of the honour which had been conferred upon him by the invita tion to preside on that occasion, an honour of which he did not consider himself in any respect worthy, except from his connection with the Uni versity of London as one of their senators. He was glad to learn from one of the Professors that the system of requiring the students to make reports on hospital cases had been attended with great suc cess. Such a system must tend to promote accurate observation and careful reading. lie also rejoiced at the steps which had been taken in the last two years to carry out the recommendation of the General Medical Council for an improved liberal education for all persons who were entering on the important studies of medicine and surgery. Three influential bodies had concurred in this recommen dation—the General Medical Council, the College of Surgeons, and the Society of Apothecaries—and had taken measures to secure that a liberal education should be passed through by all persons entering on medical studies. Every one must see that while they were more and more sensible of the necessity of making our education a useful one, we were in no danger of forgetting that we must also make it a sound one. While taking care that those special studies were pursued which were useful in the profession, they also re membered that there was something more impor tant than those—that education of the mind which could only be secured by general studies. All must admit that in no profession were such general at tainments moon required and more useful to society in general than in the medical profession. This was evident from a consideration of two or three prominent subjects which now occupied the public mind. Owing to the progress of civilisation and the immense aggregatio n of people in certain places more :and more attention to sanitary science was necessary. We were continually collecting facts for future use; but to make use of them it was ne cessary to have men capable of making proper inductions from those facts ; add it was to the medical profession that society mainly looked for the proper discharge of this important duty. Upon the question of the origin and progress of epi demics it was necessary that a large number of observations should be made on the state of the atmosphere, drainage, food, the density of the population, and other matters; and who were so well fitted to make those observations and draw appropriate conclusions as the members of the medical profession ? Another subject, peculiarly interesting at the present day, was the study of mental disorders, and here again the members of the medical profession were called upon to exercise their skill and acquirements. The question of the treatment of criminal lunatics was now before a com mittee of the House of Lords, and the subject was one to which public attention had been much turned of late. If the public had not perfect confidence in the medical profession on that point, it was to the latter only that we should look for the information necessary to remove all doubts. Ou these grounds he argued that it was the most important that those entering on the medical profession should receive a sound and liberal education.-0a the motion of Mr. G. Grote, the thanks of the meeting were cordially voted to Lord Wodehouse. Confederate Prospects, We have been favoured with the following ex tract of a letter from a lady in the Confederate States, dated "Augusta (Georgia), Feb. 23, 1864. "The early opening of the spring campaign fills our country just now with much anxiety. For the moment we must acknowledge ourselves surprised by a movement in Mobile in the rear, which must be met in great haste by a portion of Johnston's army, now guarding the frontier of Georgia. The enemy is marching from Mississippi across the interior portion of the Confederacy where we have only a small force to dispute his advance; but we hope his temerity will prove his destruction. Johnston is moving to get in his rear if possible. The battle is not always to the strong.' Our hope 'is not in man. We have the utmost confidence in our final success ( and —to the contrary notwithstanding). These two gentlemen persist in taking low-spirited views of our prospects. The time of hope is over with them, and they can only sigh over the ruins of our once glorious Union. As a peop'e we are full of hope, and believe, with our noble President, that our skies are even now be ginning to brighten. In our generals we have patriots; our soldiers are the bravest of the brave. But this is boasting, Yet, could you know what privations and sufferings are endured by this people you would not wonder that we feel a pride in our defenders, to which we must give utterance. Night after night, as we read that Sumter fires her morning gun and still floats the Confederate flag, we take courage, and shout for Beauregard. Lee has the management of every heart throughout the land. The women would take up arms if he should say so. But he only tells us to send back deserters, to shame the laggard, to ply the needle, and fly the shuttle. Right cheerfully we obey our country's call for help. The loss of fine clothing is nothing to wives and mothers who have sour and loved ones marching barefooted into battle. My sister's son came home to us last month after a season in Tennessee, almost naked. He is a youth of 17 years; had gone to join Gen. Longstreet for fun; but after a little experience he was glad to find his way back home on foot, and wait until he should attain army age. " Our currency is in a strange state just now— no small change to be had. I had to buy 10 dols. worth of shoe-strings to-day because there was no thing else in the shop I wished for, and the change could not be made; so I have got shoe.strings enough to last through the war. We use planta tion tanned leather for common shoes, and tie them with braid at a dollar a yard. At some tables we still drink a sprinkling of coffee mixed with rye. At others we drink pure rye, which we are com pelled to drink instead of coffee. My sister calls this last drink brown stout. Sometimes she asks me to take a dose of ' black drop' out of her coffee pot. Our substitute for tea is a decoction of briar leaves, which lacks stimulating qualities, unless we remember to leave in the briars. "As my letter must wait for the dusk of the moon I may add another sheet of such news as our dismal times can furnish. By extracts which come to us from European papers I see you are informed of the position of our armies and the proceedings of our Congress. The London Index gives a true account of us, and the limes evidently likes to speak well of us when it can do so without abasing our enemies (but you know it is strictly neutral). Augusta is so much changed since the war that we scarcely feel it ourown city. Refugees from all our borders congre• gate here as a spot in the Confederacy which must be defended with a death struggle. . . . The enemy longs to reach this spot in the very heart of the Confederacy. We feel comparatively safe, be cause Charleston is eo well fortified. Savannah is also very strong. I have been spending part of this winter near the latter place, so near as to hear the cannonading in a still night. I was with my brother's wife and children on a plantation while he was in the army. There was no white man within two miles of us. The families on the opposite side of the river from us had been warned by Beaure gard to remove higher up the country; but we were considered safe, from the fact of a deep river sepa rating us from a weak point on the Carolina coast, from which raids of the enemy were dreaded. " Surrounded by our slaves (the plantation governed by one of themselves) we slept with un locked doors—not in perfect peace, but with strange composure vouchsafed us from on high. The slave who managed our plantation is clever enough to find his way to the Yankees any night ; but he bore with us the privations of the war, and kept all his fellows in their places. And when his master came on a twenty days' furlough, he meekly re ceived a punishment which he deserved for having on one occasion whipped a refractory child with more severity than he ought to have done. We had at no time the least fear of our slaves, but we did fear that deep river would not protect us from raids. So we had our hiding places chosen, and our plans for flight ell matured. By a now law in Congress we hope the planters will be sent home to make provisions for the army. If so, my brother's , furlough will be more than than twenty days. Much as we love our country we of coarse rejoice whoa our dear ones can be spared from the ranks. The hearty re-enlistment of our veteran troops makes our army stronger than could any number of new recruits. The spirit of the army is wonderful. It is a God-given enthu siasm, which quiets all our apprehensions. We must succeed. . . . " Show the tea leaves from Georgia. We town people still get the genuine article from Nassau, but the time for this luxury is drawing to a close. I send you a specimen of Confederate sackcloth, which I:bought cheap at a dollar a yard. It is light and nice for outer garments in hot weather.... " P.S. Feb. 27.—We feel quite excited by the good news from all out birders this morning—the grand simultaneous attack has been made by the Yankees. It has failed in Florida, failed in Missis sippi, failed in Mobile, and on the north Georgian frontier. Fighting is now going on, the result of which you will hear long before this reaches you. We are preparing for our woanded." SHIPPING-THIS DAY• LONDON, May 10.—Wind this day at noon—North- Westerly ; light breeze and fine weather.

" OVER" THE PHILOSOPHER'S " STONE ?"—On Di! that Lord Overstone's fortune is estimated at five mil lions sterling. The Moniteur publishes Imperial decrees convok ing the electors of the third circumscription of the Gard on the 29th and 30th May, to elect a deputy to the Legislative Body, in piece of M. Ernest Andre, deceased ; also, the electors of the eecond circumscription of the same departments on the same days, to choose a representative, the previous election having been annulled, ROBBING THE DEAD.—Yesterday Maria Read, aged 53, and her son Henry, were tried on an indictment, charging them with stealing a considerable sum of money the property of Joseph Rankin. It appeared that Rankin lodged with the elder prisoner, and for some time had been confined to his bed. He was a person of very penurious habits, and after his death it was alleged that the prisoners had stolen a large sum of money which he kept in a box near his bed. The representative of the old man, when she came to take possession of the property, found only about £l2 in money, although it was known a much larger sum had been in his possession. The female prisoner had been seen in possession of a Bank of England note for £2OO, which it was alleged belonged to the deceased. The jury acquitted the son but found the mother guilty. Sentence was deferred, in order to give Maria Read an opportunity of giving further information on the matter if she felt so disposed. A PERSIAN SNAKE CHARMER.-0a the Bth, a celebrated afsngar, or snake charmer, named Mirza Kasim, came to exhibit his skill. He produced three boxes containing some 20 snakes in all, and told us that except one they were all.tlfas vipers. The exception was a thin snake, about a yard long, with remarkably large eyes. He called it chirya mar, sparrow killer. The vipers were, some of them, four and a half, perhaps even five feet long, of a grey ashen colour, with black blotches and the belly red, likecopper. He handled them all with great confidence, slipping his fingers along their bodies and grasping them so that they could:not turn their heads. Presently he opened the mouth of one of the largest and showed its fangs—. crooked teeth half an inch long. These distilled poison, which ho received on the blade of a knife till there was about a quarter of teaspoonful. A little of this dropped on the ground but he put the rest in his mouth and licked the knife. He then took a fowl and pulled the feathers off the wretched bird's thigh, and then suffered the snake to bite it. I watched his proceedings carefully, and I think—but am not certain—that the snake whose poison he swallowed was the one that bit the fowl. However that may be, the leg of:the poor fowl swelled instantaneously, and it raised it incessantly as if in pain, Once it clucked a little, but soon became giddy, and rolled oft the platform into the garden below. It was quite dead in a few seconds under the minute. The bitten part became black. I noticed that the assistant who held the snake seemed afraid of it, and threw it down hastily after it had made the bite. In fact, so alarmed was he that he threw it close to one of Mr. Abbott's children, who displayed more courage than the snake charmer, and did not attempt to retreat. Mean time Mirza Khan himself was no whit &discon certed, and took up with perfect sang froid the reptile that had shown itself so venomous. I said, " Yt.u. are an afsungar, a sorcerer, if you have the wel fare of mankind at heart, utter a spell that all the snakes in Persia may die at once." "Nay," replied he, "not so; for should the snakes die, how should I get my bread ?" He then showed me his diplomas of investitude as snake charmer, signed by the Murehids or spiritual guides of the profession, and dated 17 years back. He next offered to let the snakes bite two boys he had with him, about 14 years in.terp,osed. This old, who advanced rather reluctantly to be operate d upon, we bad . and bared their arms for the bite. Of course no in sefinaitsitttafiome:::::: tention of allowing such a cruelty, but I suffered . tn ! Mirza well to take out the chiramar, or thin snake, with which he pr o .. c p r o e s a e t d ur t e o v in as fli p e r t ob th ab e ly wo v u en n o tan ies d I then s A I felt sure that the charmer would neither himswelaf have t., the vipers, nor would have dared to ninsi about one on his slaves five kira nut 4s 9d for his or apprentices.

An American paper states that in the spiritual circles of New York there is getting to be quite an excitement about a new medium of a somewhat extraor dinary character. No one knows where the modern en chantress comes from or how she acquired her art. But all devout believers say you may take a lock of any one's hair and lay it on her magic table, and forthwith the deviner of secrets proceeds to give a detailed history of the life of the person from whose head the hair in question was lopped, and to mark out his future career.
